Penis piercings don't require an erect penis, and are usually done while the penis is flaccid.

Question

I am 14 and I have two holes from piercings from last year. Can I still use them?

Community Answer

If your holes have closed, then you can’t. It depends on what your healing speed is. You may have to get new piercings.

Question

How do I pierce my penis when it's tiny?

Community Answer

Size doesn't really matter in this case. Just be sure to have any sort of piercing, especially on your penis, done by a professional. They are more practiced at this, and less likely to screw up the process.

What are the pros and cons of piercing my own penis?

The main pros are that it's cheaper and you don't have to be 18 to do it yourself. The cons are that you could pierce the wrong place and seriously injure yourself and/or end up with a nasty infection.

Question

Should the penis be erect or soft during piercing?

Community Answer

It should be soft, because the extra blood flow to the penis during erection can cause a bit of a bloody situation.

Question

After the piercing, can I cycle?

Community Answer

If the wound is properly healed, then you may cycle, but if you have just pierced it a few days ago, you must not cycle. The penis gets pressed in this process, and you may feel pain.

Can I pierce my own vagina?

NO!! You must get it done professionally -- piercing anything at home carries a lot of risks.

Question

Is it cheaper or easier to do it myself?

Community Answer

Do not do that. It might be embarrasing to go ask for a penis piercing, but the people at the parlor know what they are doing and are trained on how to do them/ teach you how to care for it. DIY penis piercings could and probably will end up very badly.

Question

Should I pierce it when it's hard or when it's flaccid?

Community Answer

YOU should not pierce it at all. If you are hell bent on piercing your penis, you need to go to a licensed piercer so you don't end up permanently injuring yourself.

Question

The needle went all through my penis, what can I do?

Community Answer

If the needle is still there, try to carefully remove it, and go to a doctor. If you cannot remove the needle, you should go to emergency care immediately. Ask to see a male doctor if that would be easier for you.

Should a penis be hard or soft when it is being pierced?

It might be easier to do it when it isn't erect. There would be more skin available to pierce.

Question

After piercing, I peed and a little bit of blood came out. Is this normal?

Community Answer

If urine is coming through the piercing hole, you most likely pierced through your urethra. Consult a doctor immediately. If it’s just blood coming out through the hole, that’s perfectly normal, it’s just healing. If it persists after the normal healing period should be done, consult a doctor. It may be infected.

Question

Could I get an over-the-counter numbing gel?

Community Answer

This actually isn't recommended because you might numb your penis to the point where you wouldn't be able to tell if you were piercing yourself in an incorrect/painful way. However, as long as you use a minimal amount, it should be okay.

Question

If I get an erection soon after it's pierced and it bleeds, is this normal or should I seek medical attention?

Community Answer

This is perfectly normal! You have to remember you just stuck a needle through your penis, so yes, it will bleed. If the bleeding is severe or worries you, then yes, see a doctor.

Question

Can I use knitting spikes to pierce my penis?

Community Answer

No. Use only sterilized needles, and a professional needs to be the one to do it. Using a knitting spike would most likely cause such severe damage to your penis that you may never be able to receive an erection again -- or even worse, doctors may have to entirely remove your penis because of such severe damage.
